4. Too late

We have been typing our fingers to the bone trying to reason with Hillarians and get them to understand where we are coming from. Some people I have seen bend over backwards to try to understand where Hillarians come from. I have seen to many olive branches taken from Bernie supporters only to be used to smack them around. So, now the question is how much is this going to hurt Democrats in the fall. Because I think there are enough Democrats that would like to see Bernie fail if he gets the nomination, just because he dared run against Hillary.
